Good luck where ever you go. Glad you your bike is running good and you got it sorted. If you do it right, Norcal doesn't have to be expensive... but for me it was. I rode up HWY 1 in April and it rained on me almost every day. It was nearly impossible to find a hotel less then $100.

From the way the ADV crowd has reached out to you already, I'm sure you will have many couches to crash on

I hope you can still make it into Central and South America... but where ever you go.. it will be an adventure.
